Jean-Claude Van Damme would have received as “gift” of the women with full knowledge of where they came from.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is reportedly under criminal investigation in Romania for allegedly engaging in sexual relations with victims of human trafficking. A complaint was filed with the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), alleging that Van Damme knowingly received five Romanian women as a “gift” from a trafficking ring led by Morel Bolea during a trip to Cannes, France.The case surfaced after a victim came forward, and a witness claimed to have seen the alleged exchange at an event Van Damme organized in Cannes. Attorney Adrian Cuculis, representing one of the victims, stated that the women were in a vulnerable state and allegedly exploited. The DIICOT has launched an investigation, though formal criminal proceedings must be authorized by the Prosecutor General.The case is part of a broader investigation into human trafficking in Romania that began in 2020. Van Damme, known for his martial arts and acting career, has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
